The Lay Of p Lost Minstrel.

Sad was the song that the minstrel
and his voice was cracked and his knees
were sprung, and his eyes far out of their
sockets hung, and he howled dirge in a
foreign tongue. and his Tyre was out of
tune. ] softly unclaimed the brlndle dog,
and loaded the old shotgun while he
scraped his Tyre in the damp and fog, and
sung Of a fairy who drove frog, and held
a court in somber bog, by the light of a
midnight sun. No fairies for me-
softly said, 80, singer, you'll change
your tune; you must sing ballad Of
death instead, Of ghosts iii purple and
ghosts in red, of regions where wander
the phantom dead, and there are no stars
or nlUon. >
He tuned his harp 10 a dismal lay, that
chilled all the blood | owned and he sung.
There's land in the far away, where
never is cleaning the light of the day,
where the COLLINS damp and the specters
stay. AMI wind with their shrieks is
toned. The ghost OF the pallid dude is
there, bereft Of its Gtlded cane: il has no
oil for its yellow hair, il has no glasses TO
eye the fair and it cannot stand on the
street and stare, so the dude is bowed in
pain" ! lOoSed the dog on the minstrel
there, and | fired my gun in the damp;
and pieces OF harp few in the air, and
stogv boots and wadS OF hair. and all that
was left OF the minstrel fair was rolled in
postage stamp.-Liacoln (Neb.) State

What Some Fsnclers Pay for Rare and
Thoroughbred Fowls.
1.-THE highest price that ever know

was paid for the champion Plymouth
Rock cockerel at the New Orleans Ex-
position. two years ago. 1t was raised
by Hon. Sid Conger. of Indiana, who
divided his time between his poultry
farm and the State Senate"
The above remark was made to re-
porter by Mr.. j. Frank Clark. vice
president Of the New York Poultry Ex-
change.
..Sales Of fancy fowls at high prices"
Mr.. Clark continued, ''are not so rare
as many people suppose. At the last

Vanderbilt paid $25 for a Plymouth
Rock cockerel, and breeding pens Of

In this case was due to the bird having
won first premium at the Crystal Palace
and other English shows The value of
thoroughbred fowls depends on their
comparative merit, which is determined
by system Of scoring. Expert judges
compare each fowl with standard OF
excellence which allows 100 points for
perfection. and deducts therefrom for
every fault or deficiency that the fowl
possesses. 1t requires careful and sci-
cntific breeding to produce fowls that
will score ninety or more points, and
such birds always sell at good prices.
Rare specimens scoring from ninety-six
toninety-eight points are literally worth
their weight ir gold.
There is fashion in fowls as in
most other things, and . very change
